Sunan Abu Dawud 1489 — Regarding Supplication (Ad-Du’a)
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " الْمَسْأَلَةُ : أَنْ تَرْفَعَ يَدَيْكَ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْكَ أَوْ نَحْوَهُمَا ، وَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ : أَنْ تُشِيرَ بِأُصْبُعٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ، وَالِابْتِهَالُ : أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَيْكَ جَمِيعًا " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ikrimah quoted Ibn Abbas as saying: When asking for something you should raise your hands opposite to your shoulders; when asking for forgiveness you should point with one finger; and when making an earnest supplication you should spread out both your hands.
